ACQUIRING AN EXISTING BUSINESS OR CHANGING TYPE OF LEGAL BUSINESS ENTITY

sales tax and, in most cases, unemployment insurance due or unpaid by the previous owner/entity until the previous owner/entity produces 
a receipt from the Idaho Department of Labor and the Idaho State Tax Commission showing the taxes have been paid. If you fail to withhold 
the required purchase money and the taxes remain due and unpaid after the business is sold or converted to another entity type, you may be 
liable for the payment of the taxes collected or unpaid by the former owner/entity. When there is a change in the legal entity, you must notify 
your workers’ compensation insurance company.
